I like the Amish made ones that can be used upright as bookcases until needed for another purpose.

Now I kind of want one. I would love to be buried in my bookcase. No one needs to know.

Me, too, the question is how many books can I fit into the bookcase/casket with me?

I seem to remember a trend a few decades back in which kits were available to build your own coffin/bookcase. Heck, even now there are CD cabinets that are built to resemble Egtian mummy cases. a friend has one about six-feet tall.

I certainly wouldn't mind having a nicely carved wooden coffin in the house. Fitted with a glass top it could make a spectacular coffee table.

I don't know. I'm guessing it's for sale and the owner just wants it to be someone else's problem.

The housing market is horrible in Flint. There are so many abandoned and burned out homes. If you don't mind a bad neighborhood, you can have your choice between lots of cute little homes for under $10k, free and clear.

And it's possible to buy damaged homes, including the property they're on, from the land bank for $1. You just have to fix them up. It's crazy.

In the case of this burnt out one, you'd be better off to just pay the $250 for the land and you could build another little (maybe expandable?) house on the lot for less than what it would cost to 'fix' this one.

When our son was home shopping, they did look at many homes just for the property, taking into account the value of salvage and the cost of demolition. I think we've got a winner-loser here!

It's pretty likely the wires and plumbing pipes are gone anyway. We have issues with those materials being stolen from occupied homes and businesses and sold for scrap. Abandoned building don't stand a chance.
